WATER NORAGE.

The question of water storage for the purpose of irrigation is being widely agitated throughout Southern California and Arizona, and in many places practi- cal experiments are being made in that direction. The benefits to be derived from large storage reservoirs in proper locations in our own county are incal- culable. As an evidence of the great amount of water that falls during the rainy season, the following is noted: One day last week, during rain storm, the arroya half mile north of town ran full of water one hundred yards wide and ten feet deep for more than an hour, and it has been raining every day since Even that amount of water, properly stored would irrigate large body oi land the entire season. There are many places along the San Pedro river where large dams could be built and the sur plus water saved, and all the rich lands along the river be thereby brought under cultivation. Here is an opportunity fol the profitable investment of capital which rarely presents itself Here is as fertile soil as can be found under the sun while the climate is perfection. The only lack is water, and by storing tha
 which goes to waste, that want can bt supplied. We should like to see few dollars of the many millions taken out O poor old Cochise county's bowels spen in developing her surface resources.

The fertility of the valley lands of Arizona is wonderful, considering the little cultivation given them. During a recent ride through the Salt River valley we found the system adopted by the In dians to be largely in vogue among the whites in the cultivation of the land. In immense fields wild sunhowers and cockleburs were ripening and spreading their seeds broadcast. We were in formed that such thing as cultivating a crop after the seed was planted, was rarely thought of, and yet immense crops were gathered. How an Eastern farmer would open his eyes at such sight.

This is the way the Phenix land troubles look an outsider: If the boomers of that thrifty burg propose to resort to mob law in order to resist the full inves. tigation of titles to their land, either in the courts or otherwise, they thereby allow fair inference that something is "rotten in Denmark" and advertise the fact that their fertile valley is a good place to stay away from, rather than to settle in. This is an unbiased opinion, for which the good people of Maricopa are not charged cent

WM. A. J. SPARKS,


 The Leader thinks the order "the most arbitrary and unjust ,ha, has ever emanated from the land office." Many poor men have entered desert land and under the terms prescribed by the gov ernment, have paid the first 2s cents per acre. The government has contracted that if they go on, reclaim the land and pay ST more they shall receive a patent. In place of this Commissioner Sparks makes his order retroactive, and double the price to men thus involved. Such men have no money to fight such an or der in the courts. What can they do? For the sake of the good name of his ad- ministration, President Cleveland should send MT. Sparks on. a foreign mission. We presume the foregoing order was gen. eral all along the lines of the subsidized roads. It is a lasting pity that some ed. ucated men were taught to read and write
